Local painters

Painters in Manilva who know the coast

Manilva is much more than the village: most of the homes are in Sabinillas, La Duquesa and the developments that run down to the sea. We have been painting on this part of the coast for more than 15 years, and from La Duquesa we can reach any job in the municipality in a few minutes.

Many of the homes are second-home apartments and communities with pools and gardens. That changes how the work is organised: the owner is often away, the community has its own hours and the paint is chosen knowing that the house will spend weeks shut up by the sea.

We paint with our own team and one dedicated site manager who keeps you posted on progress. You receive a fixed quote in writing within 48-72 working hours.

Frontline

Painting a few metres from the sea

In Sabinillas and La Duquesa many homes are practically on the sand. The westerly wind brings salt and damp, and you can see it on façades, railings and terraces.

Community façades

In an apartment block the façade belongs to everyone: it has to be approved at the owners' meeting and painted without blocking the neighbours' way in and out.

A quote for the owners' meeting

We itemise it so that the property manager can present it and the neighbours know what they are paying for.

Working with residents at home

We agree working hours and protect entrances, cars and common areas for as long as the work lasts.

Railings and terraces

The ironwork on frontline terraces is the first thing to deteriorate: rust shows through within a few winters.

Iron

We remove the rust down to sound metal, apply an anti-rust primer and finish with gloss.

If you paint over rust

It comes back within a few months. That is why preparation is half the job in this area.

Apartments that are shut up for months

A house shut up by the sea builds up damp: when you come back there are mould stains and paint lifting.

Before painting

We air the place, treat the mould with fungicide and let the wall dry.

Which paint it needs

Anti-mould paint in bathrooms and bedrooms, and breathable emulsion in the rest of the house.

Houses in the old part of Manilva

In the village many houses have thick, whitewashed walls that need to breathe.

Lime or breathable paint

A non-breathable emulsion traps the damp in the wall and ends up blistering. On old walls we use lime or breathable exterior paint.

Façade colour

In the old village white is the rule: if you want another colour, it is best to check with the Town Hall first.

Frequently asked questions

What you ask us most

It depends on the size, the number of rooms and the condition of the walls: an apartment that has been shut up for months usually needs the damp treating before painting. We come to see it at no cost and give you a fixed price in writing within 48-72 working hours.

Yes, it is very common in the area. With a few photos on WhatsApp we can give you an idea, we arrange to see the property with whoever has the keys and we keep you posted on how the work is going.

Out of season: in spring or autumn the paint dries well, it is not as hot and the house is ready before the summer or the tenants arrive.

Yes. We prepare an itemised quote so that the property manager can take it to the owners' meeting, we agree working hours and we protect entrances, cars and common areas.

Because of the salt: on the frontline the iron is exposed to the sea air all year round. For the gloss to last, the rust has to be properly removed and an anti-rust primer applied before painting.

One that lets the wall breathe: lime or breathable exterior paint. Non-breathable emulsions trap the damp in thick walls and end up peeling.

No. We move the furniture to the middle of each room, cover it and protect the floors and doors. When we finish we leave everything tidy.
